ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION OF THE PORTRAIT GENRE IN MINIATURE ART

This article examines the formation, artistic interpretation, and aesthetic features of the portrait genre in miniature art. The purpose of the study is to identify the developmental principles of portraiture through the examples of Eastern miniature schools, particularly the Herat, Bukhara, and Samarkand schools. The research employs comparative analysis, artistic-iconographic analysis, and a historical-contextual approach. The findings show that portraiture in miniature art represents not merely a person’s external appearance, but also their spiritual world, social status, and psychological state through symbolic and artistic means. In the works of Kamoliddin Behzod, Mahmud Muzahhib, and representatives of the Samarkand school, color, composition, attributes, and background elements function as key devices enriching the semantic content of portraits. The article concludes that the portrait genre in Eastern miniature art serves as an artistic means of preserving historical memory and cultural heritage.
